My Students

In Spanish class, everyone belongs, everyone fits in and everyone is celebrated for who they are. The hesitant student grows and blossoms, the confident student has a chance to lead and together we become a supportive community.

“I love this class because we are all smart here and we all take care of each other.” When a student raised their hand and said that to me one day in class, my heart melted because it was my goal that they should all feel that way.

I love that they are excited to learn and comfortable enough that they are willing to take risks. It is so amazing to watch them fight to speak only Spanish in my class and to see the satisfaction on their faces brought by their successes. The sky is the limit for these kids!

My Project

The resources available for acquiring a foreign language when technology is available to students is AMAZING! In the past, I have written two separate grants to receive iPads for my Spanish classroom so that we could have a classroom set.

We use these iPads for practice, projects, games, video interaction and more.

They are invaluable and we have grown dependent upon them. iPads allow for me to differentiate learning for students at all levels, to provide support when necessary and to unlock challenges when appropriate.

The iPads from my grants are reaching the end of their life expectancy. I already have five that no longer work and for my larger classes, there are now five students who do not have their own device. Since the devices were not purchased by the school, they will not replace them. Please help me to replace some of these iPads so that class as my students know it can continue. These iPads greatly contribute to their journey in language acquisition.
